So if you’re a moderately active female who weighs 60kg, you should be getting 72-84g of protein per day.

So how do we add more protein to our diets without eating 2-3 steaks or 4 cans of beans every day?

You guessed it - protein powder. A bioavailable whey protein powder or a high quality plant-based protein powder is an easy and convenient way of adding protein to your diet. They have a very high percentage of protein (Bare Blends Vanilla Bean WPI has 88g of protein per 100g) and are an easy way of getting the extra nutrients to help you recover from exercise.

Below are some easy ways of getting a protein boost that are perfect when you’re on the run, or as post-exercise refuel, which will help to boost your overall health.

1. Breakfast Smoothie

Ideal for a busy lifestyle, smoothies can make an easy and nutritious breakfast. Adding whey protein isolate will also ensure that the smoothie will keep you fuller for longer, keeping you away from simple carbs, sugars and snacking between meals.

4. Post workout shake

Exercise causes the fibres of our muscles to tear, and protein is needed to help our muscles reconstruct themselves and recover in stronger formations than before. It is therefore important to fuel our bodies with amino acids straight away so they can begin recovering our muscles immediately.

A post-workout protein shake is the easiest way to do this. Simply shake one serving of protein powder with 200-300ml of milk or water and Bob's your uncle!
